Irish Soda Bread
This Irish soda bread recipe is a simple and delicious bread that's made with just a few basic ingredients and no yeast needed!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add both kinds of flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for a few minutes. This will create a vegan buttermilk that will help the bread rise and become tender.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegan buttermilk mixture. Add the maple syrup. Stir the mixture until it comes together to form a sticky dough.
- Gently knead the dough until smooth. Do not over-knead; the dough should be slightly sticky. Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make a deep "X" on the top of the loaf. This helps the bread bake evenly and allows heat to penetrate the center.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Then reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
